"Hello Johnathan" Edward said turning around to face him.

"How about you make this easy on yourself and tell me where she is hiding" Johnathan replied.

"I can't do that John"

"Oh come on Ed what is she too you"

Edward was silent for a moment as he thought about Haven.  What was the girl to him. Was she just a toy to him? No. The girl was much more than that. The truth was that he cared about her. Cared about her more than he thought he would. "I have freedom from hate, but not from lies. I'm usually seen through clouded eyes. I come unexpectedly, though you wait for me all your life. I can't be bought yet some people try. What am I?"

"A riddle Ed. At this pivotal moment" Johnathan replied.

"I am the Riddler am I not now answer it" he replied his voice darker. How dare he threaten the life of his beloved detective.

"I don't know"

Edward chuckled. "Of course you don't. No one ever knows the answers save for one person. The answer is a true love and I believe you have threatened the life of mine"

Haven gasped. Could it be that Edward loved her. Of course he did. That's why he said she was his true love.  She couldn't help but smile.

Johnathan laughed. "You Edward Nygma The Riddler actually fell in love"

"Yes I have and I'm giving you one last chance to walk away"

"I'm sorry but I can't do that" he said as he pulled out a smoke bomb and threw it into the middle of the room.

Smoke quickly filled the room as Edward coughed. "Haven Run" he called out.

That's exactly what Haven did. She headed for the stairs and ran up them.

Johnathan laughed. "I see you detective" he said as he took off after her.

Haven made it to the door of the roof and opened it. She had just made it outside when a pair of arms grabbed her. "Let me go" she screamed.

Johnathan laughed. "I don't think so my dear. You are going to pay for leading the bat to me."

"Please don't do this" she begged. Haven Wayne was utterly terrified. She tried to fight back but Johnathan was strong.

It was then that Edward came through the door. "John dont" he said as  Johnathan held a syringe up in the air.

"I'm sorry Edward. I do hope you will learn to move on" and he plunged the needle into her neck.

"No!" Edward yelled as he ran up to Crane and hit him over the head with his cane. Knocking him out.
Edward caught Haven in his arms and laid her down. "Haven look at me"

"Edward" she croaked our her voice weak.

Edward had tears in his eyes as he knew that soon the toxin would soon take effect. "How can you fall with out getting hurt?" He asked.

"If you fall in love" she answered.

"Correct as usual and oh my sweet detective how I have fallen in love with you"

"I love you Edward " was all she said before the toxin took effect. She screamed in terror as she saw her worst fear. Edward Nygma killing her.

"Shh it's alright" Edward whispered.

It was then that the Batman finally showed up. Edward looked to the dark knight tears in his eyes. "please help her" he pleaded.

"I will if you turn yourself in. The building is surrounded." Batman spoke.

"Very well" he said picking haven up.  "She needs the hospital. Tell them to give her adrenaline. It will reverse the effects of the new toxin" he said handing her over to the bat.

"I will" he replied before he took off to the hospital.

Edward made his way outside where the police awaited him. "Where is she" Harvey Bullock yelled.

"On the way to the hospital with the bat" he replied utterly defeated.

Bullock and Gordon exchanges looks at the sudden change in his behavior.  Bullock went up to him and place him in handcuffs before he put him in a car and headed off to Arkham Asylum.
